Azerbaijan’s Online Gambling Laws – is Poker Legal? Gambling has technically been prohibited in Azerbaijan since 1988 when the Heydar Aliyev decree was passe, however offshore sites are accessible by VPN. Some popular sports betting sites are legal. Status of regulation:   In progress Tax on Players:   None Tax on Operators:   None Extra Rake:   None Segregation:   None – Azerbaijan players share tables with players in other countries in the same combined playerpool. Azerbaijan Poker Deposit & Cashout Methods  Skrill  Neteller E-wallets Skrill (formerly Moneybookers) and Neteller are preferred by many grinders as they avoid fees and taxes associated with banks and gambling transactions, and don’t require you to share banking information with poker sites.
	Azerbaijan Currency – Manat (AZN)

Is Azerbaijan in the PokerStars.com Playerpool?

Yes! As shown in the table above players in Azerbaijan are not segregated from the rest of the international PokerStars playerpool (in the way e.g. France, Italy and Spain are). Plan your yearly VPP goals with Rakeback.com’s exclusive PokerStars Rakeback Calculator.

Online Poker in Azerbaijan – Do I Need a VPN?

For the initial download, a VPN (virtual private network) may be required. Since gambling is forbidden in Azerbaijan primary domains of online gambling operators may be censored when players attempt to access them. A VPN can get around this issue allowing play from the privacy of your home.

While a poker room’s domain may be down, preventing new players from downloading the client, those who have already downloaded the software can still log in and play unrestricted. The sites are based offshore (e.g. Malta / Gibraltar) with EU licenses – balances and cashouts remain safe despite one country’s internet censorship.

If you are unable to download a poker client simply use a cheap VPN service such as StrongVPN or HideMyAss to do so. After install it is no longer necessary to use a VPN although some grinders continue to do so if playing over public wifi, for extra security. Site reps have confirmed on the forums that VPNs are not prohibited, with the exception of VPN use to play online from the US.
